Obama to Nominate Vance-Cooks for Public Printer

After serving as Deputy Public Printer of the Government Printing Office (GPO) since December 2011, when outgoing Public Printer Bill Boarman appointed her to the role, Davita Vance-Cooks is finally getting her official nomination to take over the top spot at GPO. Yesterday, President Barack Obama announced his intent to nominate Vance-Cooks as the 27th Public Printer of the United States, where she will serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Government Printing Office, the first woman to hold this position. The nomination must be approved by the Senate.

Vance-Cooks has served in a number of other roles at GPO since 2004, including Chief of Staff, Managing Director of the Publications and Information Sales Business Unit, and Deputy Managing Director of Customer Services. Prior to joining GPO, she was the General Manager at HTH Worldwide Insurance Services from 2001 to 2004. Previously, she served as the Vice President of Consumer Services at Digital Insurance from 2000 to 2001. From 1993 to 2000, Ms. Vance-Cooks served in several roles with NYLCare Health Plans of the Mid-Atlantic, which was purchased by Aetna during her tenure.
